R
emember the hilarious
1988 Dirty Rotten
Scoundrels comedy starring
Michael Caine and Steve Martin?
This fantastic femme remake has a
distinctly modern flavour yet the
physical comedy and silly gags are
ever-present. Anne Hathaway
clearly has fun playing a high-class
con artist, who is the brains behind
the operation. She masters a plum
English accent while teaching low-
rent recruit Lonnie (Rebel Wilson)
how it’s done. Rich men beware as
these new con artists are willing to
play down and dirty. Avengers: Endga me
(Action, Adventure)T
he Avengers are up for the
fight of their lives in this
highly anticipated Marvel
superhero instalment. Tony Stark/
Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr) is
adrift in space with slim chance of
rescue. Meanwhile, the rest of the
team is grieving the loss of half of
all the universe’s living creatures at
the hand of the evil Thanos (Josh
Brolin). Then Scott Lang/Ant-Man
(Paul Rudd) unexpectedly appears
to help save the day. Can the
superheroes band together once
more to fight against evil and
restore the universe? Expect
better-than-ever special effects
and edge-of-your-seat action.
A must-see for adventure and
comic fans alike.READER’S DIGESTMovies
